“The source of luminosity is within you. It is not outside you. If you seek it outside, you seek in vain. Close your eyes and go within yourself. It is there… waiting since eternity. You are a light – a light unto yourself.”
~Osho~

If you seek joy and fulfillment from external circumstances, your life will be filled with highs and lows that are seemingly out of your control. When you seek to create peace from within, you touch the source of all creation and are no longer subject to outside factors. Relax into your truth and you’ll discover that you are more content and empowered.

We live in a free-will universe and each of us is responsible for our own joy. Those who are lost in unconsciousness become trapped within the mind and move toward misery. As we move into higher levels of consciousness, our choices will bring greater peace.

“In every moment, you have a choice: to live the life of spiritual practice or retreat into comfort and security.”
~Ezra Bayda~ 

Today my intention is to know that I stand at the threshold of new levels of consciousness. I am willing to walk forward.

“Meditation heals, makes you whole; and to be whole is holy. Holiness has nothing to do with belonging to any religion, belonging to any church. It simply means that inside you, you are entire, complete, nothing is missing, you are fulfilled. You are what existence wanted you to be. You have realized your potential.”
~Osho~ 

Today my intention is to celebrate life.

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”
~Rumi~ 

We learn by experiencing contrast. A life filled with love is typically discovered by rising above our fears. When you are willing to face the shadows of the soul, you will emerge changed, empowered and courageous.

Everything plays a role in your journey of transformation. Each step you take is supported, loved and guided – even (or especially!) in those moments when guidance and peace feel distant. The Universe is celebrating the journey of your soul and when you can open your heart to receive, magic awakens in your life.

Karmic cycles and challenges are meant to open you to greater love and balance. Seek only to fall in love with life. It is a miracle. You are a miracle, and your light brings something new and beautiful to the world.

“What happens when we slow down and pay attention? Everything! Innumerable delights are right at hand.”
~Ezra Bayda~ 

Today my intention is to listen to my inner wisdom.

When the mind gets lost in limiting beliefs, life appears to be a struggle. “It’s hard,” “This will never work,” “Nothing ever goes my way,” “Every time things are going well, something bad happens.” All of these ideas block the possibility of movement forward, yet many people actually say them out loud and operate from a place of impending loss rather than joyful expectation.

Observe the patterns that repeat in your life experience. Their purpose is to bring your awareness to mind-made prisons that you have created. Awareness is the first step of transformation. In order to manifest change, be willing to take responsibility for your own joy in the present moment. Notice the thoughts that repeat and purposely rewrite the script as often as necessary. Ensure that your words represent what you wish to create rather than verbalizing your fears.

You are more powerful than you realize.This is the moment of transformation and you can create freedom and joy in your life experience.

Today my intention is to live from the heart.

Empowerment means that you are ready to take responsibility for your own joy in this moment. When you no longer allow outside factors to control how you feel, you begin to set yourself free from the grip of unhappiness and desire. Your thoughts create your reality; therefore, consciously draw your attention to your inner dialogue and redirect it in positive ways as often as required.

The mind should be utilized as a tool rather than allowed free rein as a master of your experience. It does take some practice to break free from old habits, but you’ll discover that your awareness accelerates the process.

Gratitude is the most powerful tool we have to transform challenges into empowerment. Practice daily remembering that there is always more to learn. But most of all, remember this – happiness is a choice.

Love those who grace your life by giving them space to grow and thrive. When we view our relationships as opportunities to see ourselves more clearly, they take on an active role in our spiritual awakening.

Whether in your life for a moment or for a lifetime, each beautiful soul has a purpose. Consider this: those that challenge you the most on the physical plane often love you the most on the spiritual plane. They are willing to play a role that accelerates your growth – sometimes at the expense of your affection and good will in this lifetime. With this in mind, see if you can see past the egoic roles to the love which underlies every situation.

We are here to discover who we are in the presence of one another. Your light, too, plays a role in the growth of those around you. Do your own work, becoming ever more conscious. Then, observe how your relationships are transformed.

“The willingness to simply rest in the physical experience of your life is the key to spiritual transformation.”
~Ezra Bayda~ 

Today my intention is to remember that everything I experience plays a significant role in my spiritual transformation.
